Ioban Drapes

3M Ioban antimicrobial incise drapes are advanced surgical drapes designed to deliver a continuous release of iodophor, ensuring broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection during surgical procedures. These innovative drapes feature an iodophor-impregnated adhesive that not only provides effective antimicrobial action but also ensures superior adhesion to the patient's skin and the edges of the wound.

According to 3M Health Care, the robust and adaptable polyester film used in Ioban drapes creates a sterile barrier that significantly reduces the risk of bacterial contamination throughout the surgical process. This film is breathable, allowing for comfort while maintaining a secure, sterile environment that extends from the skin to gloves, gowns, instruments, and implants.

3M emphasizes that Ioban drapes are effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as yeast and molds. By utilizing Ioban drapes in surgical settings, healthcare professionals can enhance patient safety and minimize the risk of infections, contributing to better surgical outcomes. 

Opting for 3M Ioban antimicrobial incise drapes not only promotes a sterile operative field but also supports the overall integrity of the surgical procedure, making them an essential choice for modern surgical practices.
